Just an Update. I guess.

19, nothing's really changed. I work for Yoobee now. What's Yoobee you say? A Premium Apple Reseller. The closest thing to an Apple Store in New Zealand. Do I love it? I sure do. University has been taking it out on me lately. Assignment after assignment. Pretty keen to get out of this routine wake up, uni, work, study day. I want to go to the beach, and I want to travel. 

But enough about that. What have I seen in the world these days. Nikon brought out a new camera. I got a new Nikon D7000, only because my D90 stopped autofocusing. I really don't know why. I really love TradeMe. I've started a new business. It's called AME. It stands for Apple Made Easy. It's a bit slow. But that's how I want it to be at the moment. I really don't have the time to spend too much time on it. But I love it. Kruger is the other executive. We do a lot of support work, home installations, classes, and just at home consultations. It's what I love.

Friends have come and gone. Jono has gone on his mission to Argentina; I'm so proud of him. He's doing so well, but then again, he'll always do well anywhere.

Fraser is good, he cut his arm quite severely a few weeks ago, I guess it's about a month now. At first, we were all worried, but he's a trooper. He's healing faster than anything.

Rory of course, is having a great time. One thing that I really respect about Rory is his ability to enjoy life. He works hard for everything, yet, he conjures up the spirit to smile through it.

Chris is down in Dunedin studying so hard. It's an absolute blast of a time when I do get to see him. It's times like this when you see how precious the time is together with your closest friends. Do I miss it? Heck yes. But we cannot stay stationary in a moving world.

Becky, Dazzy and Louise are doing well as well. They just had their ball. They looked amazing! I was so honoured to take pictures of their pre-ball. Too bad the lighting was really bad the .NEF/RAW files were really hard to edit without creating so much noise in the picture. But still, they were beautiful. And I must say, one person did seem to catch my attention the most...... 

I have to mention another person who has been on my mind. He's a recent friend, but it just seems like a special one. He brings out the essence and beauty of friendship. Not just 'friendship', but 'fellowship'. He's one of the most intelligent people I know. He has a wit about him that I just can't pass. I hope for the best for him, he deserves it. 

Family. I must say, something that I haven't mentioned in my past posts. There has been one thing that I have noticed. Maybe it's just me, but do we take our family for granted? Now lets think of this. If your best friend asked you to do something, sure, you'll do it, but if a family member asked, what's the first thought? "Oh its okay, they're just family, they'll understand." They sure will understand, they will always, but do they deserve it? Your friends grow up with you while your family grow old. Keep that in mind. Love and cherish your family. 

Well I guess that's that then. Till next time..... PEACE 

Song of the Day:

Go The Distance - Michael Bolton

(From Hercules)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6v_gOmVJ4I

Lyrics:

I have often dreamed 
Of a far-off place 
Where a hero's welcome 
Will be waiting for me 
Where the crowds will cheer 
When they see my face 
And a voice keeps saying 
This is where I'm meant to be 

I'll be there someday 
I can go the distance 
I will find my way 
If I can be strong 
I know ev'ry mile 
Will be worth my while 

When I go the distance 
I'll be right where I belong 

Down an unknown road 
To embrace my fate 
Though that road may wander 
It will lead me to you 
And a thousand years 
Would be worth the wait 
It might take a lifetime 
But somehow I'll see it through 

And I won't look back 
I can go the distance 
And I'll stay on track 
No, I won't accept defeat 
It's an uphill slope 
But I won't lose hope 
Till I go the distance 
And my journey is complete 

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part 
A hero's strength is measured by his heart 
Ooooooooooooooooooo 

Like a shooting star 
I will go the distance 
I will search the world 
I will face its heart 
I dont care how far 
I can go the distance 
Till I find my heros welcome 
Waiting In your arms 

I will search the world 
I will face its harms 
Till I find mt hero's welcome 
Waiting in your arms 

The Mind is a Beautiful........

Sometimes I wonder why I named my blog Twice In A Lifetime.
I guess its kinda because I believe in the mindset that, if we let go of something that we don't need at that particular time, but you may want, there will always be another chance but at better circumstances. Well that's what I have gone through anyway. I gave up Japanese after 5th Form because my subjects clashed. Was I to choose Japanese or Accounting? Well, I dropped Japanese, and guess what, it was the best choice ever. I got to meet one of my favourite teachers - Trevor Weal, and I got into the world of business. I absolutely love it now! Some people ask me why I love it? Well, the answer isn't as rehearsed as to-be doctors or lawyers, and no way close to being as impressive either! Doctors can pull the classic "I want to save lives and see them smile for a bit longer." Or for lawyers, the classic, "I want to see justice in this world of injustice." Oh hush you people. Sure, what can we say? " I want to make money." To people who know business, of course that's good. But to the people who don't understand, their reactions are like "You're the reason why people in Africa are dying" or "You're the reason why there is AIDS running rampant in third world countries." I mean, WHAT? Is it wrong to love money? Well, that does sound wrong. Let me refurbish that broken question. Is it wrong to like the feeling of seeing reward of hard work? I mean, imagine me as a young Steve Jobs. I see potential in things that can be brought forward to the world as a consumer product. Sure I love consumerism. I fall for it, and I make people fall for it. Its a Love/Hate relationship.

Now, lets come back to sanity Ben. (Isn't it funny that I'm talking to myself about coming back to sanity? Isn't talking to yourself the first sign of insanity?....... TBC)
I put an Apple sticker on the back of my car today. So if you notice it, give me a high five.
Let me update you on what I've been doing.
So I sang at the opening Ceremony of the 2011 Rugby World Cup here in New Zealand. It was fun! I got to shake hands with and talk to Jonah Lomu. No one knew about the 'secret all star' except for us. I was in the 1st choir section, so at the front, singing really loud. I also recorded the song "World In Union" Arranged by Victoria Kelly for Hayley Westenra to sing. I was paid $300 for 4 hours of recording work. Great Money eh!
I've also gotten my love for photography going. My mum said to me that when I was a kid, I would always  make a camera out of my hands and take pictures of everything haha. Cute, I know. Also that when mcdonalds (I refuse to give that shop capital letters, because now I despise what they do) had a fake kids camera toy that came out with the Happy Meal, I took that toy to everywhere I went. It broke in 2 weeks and I was distraught. I still remember what it looks like. And how it popped up! Even though it was like 13 years ago or something. The other camera story I remember was my first Digital Camera. It was one of those really bad Digital Cameras that didn't have a LCD or anything to see the picture you had taken. You had to connect it to your computer via USB to see the pictures. It came free with a year's subscription of the New Zealand Hearald. Did my family get it? No. So what did I do? I saved up my lunch money in Primary when I was year 6 everyday for like two weeks and bought it off my friend for $20. That was heaps back then! I loved it :) Then my love became serious. I got a Nikon D60 with a 18-55mm. Yes, DSLR Photography. I loved it. Just a few days ago I upgraded to a Nikon D90. I have 6 lenses altogether now, maybe one day I'll get into them more.

Update on friends? Well, Chris has been back from Otago. He's doing Health Science and wants to get into Medicine and become a Pediatrician. Good on him. I reckon he'll be an amazing doctor. He's got the mind of a genius, and when he puts his mind to it, its like wildfire. He's a really good friend as well. Someone you can really rely on. He's got a pure heart, and sometimes, that's all you need to look up to as a friend. I'll miss him even more when he goes back down to carry on with his studies in Dunedin.
Jono? He's on his mission now. He was called to Uruguay, Montevideo. South America you say? I KNOW RIGHT!? I miss him like heck. Although, being away from him for like the whole year kinda did lessen the blow I guess. We were like brothers. That does remind me, I need to send him a letter. I wish him all the best.
Caleb is in Italy at the moment. Travelled to Germany, Belgium, and I think he's heading to Japan next. He's a good boy. I like him. He's got a really pure heart as well. But something in me thinks that he has so much potential! I just want to see him start something that I know he would love and see him finish it. If you're reading this Caleb, you know I love you. I can't wait for you to start your career with something you love to do - Singing. I guess I share the same passion.

I guess that's all I've got for you now.
Thanks for reading. Hopefully soon I'll get to writing about more interesting matters than my life eh?
But till then,
Peace out


Song of the Day
Use Somebody - Kings of Leon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnhXHvRoUd0&ob=av2n

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me, someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now

Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see

Time for me to start again

Blogging is like a really true friend. They will always be there right when you need them :)

So I've done my first year for uni. It was great! Results were solid and I had an absolutely splendid time.

I'll work my way from most recent to the past. My memory is terrible, so it helps me to remember everything :)

I had the Pilling Family and the Dil Family come over for dinner with my family. It was absolutely great! I has been a while since I saw Grandma Pilling, and she has seemed to have injured her leg. My mum went straight to her house to see if she was okay, but something inside me is hurting. Why couldn't I get my bum off my seat and go with her and send her my love? I feel bad. Sorry Grandma, I'll make sure I will be more selfless and give you as much love as I can possibly give you. she loves me so much. Not in a big headed way - she always cares for me, and even with the smallest of things, she would congratulate me. She has the purest heart out there, she is amazing. I hope you live forever Grandma :) 

Brett and Brittany came over as well :) Dekota is 1 now, she was born on the 10th of January 2011. She is really beautiful! Gets it from her parents I guess. SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME. I'm sure she doesn't like me! EEEEK! Is it my countenance? Is it unappealing? That sucks eh. All I really want to be is a really cool dad. Someone that my children can look forward to seeing everyday. Someone that my children will rely on. 

Stephanie and Jeff are well, which is really great to see :) It's always a pleasure to see them! Love like runs in their family!

Braun and Bracken was there of course. Braun sporty as ever! And Bracken cute as ever! My mother adores her! Apparently she was the second to most beautiful baby she had ever seen. Who was first? OH YEAH~ ME! THATS RIGHT! She's becoming a little princess :) 

Of course I won't forget Brandon and Faust. Brandon has grown up heaps! I remember when we first got to know the Pillings, my mum said that there was someone my age. So she introduced me to Brandon haha! He's what, 3 years younger than me? But you know what? He's like a meter taller than me. Am I short, or is he tall? I think he's tall. Yes, lets just say that just to keep my moral and self-esteem up! He's in 6th form at Rangi now. Heaps of stuff coming his way. 6th form ball, exams, PHEW, lucky I'm over and done with that! Although, come to think of it, I do miss my high school years.

Faust Olsen has grown heaps as well! I remember when he was a child! Now's he's grown to be a sharp young man. He's certainly got Angela's eyes! He's funny, and does gymnastics, and is a really great friend with Brandon. Good on ya boys, keep it up.

So I got a job at YOOBEE by the way. It hasn't been that long, but its good :) Wait, let me tell you the truth. It's pretty much heaven for me haha. I love Apple :) 

Table Tennis isn't bad. Got 2 packages of equipment from XIOM. 50ish rubbers and 5 blades. It's going to be exciting!

Singing hasn't really kicked off yet. Booked in a time with Louise Malloy on Wednesday next week. Let's just hope that my technique hasn't gone out the window!

Oh well, nice to talk to you again.

Peace Out

Song of the Day.

Skyscraper - Demi Lovato

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_8ydghbGSg&ob=av2e

Skies are crying
I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending, like we never had a chance
Do you have to, make me feel like there is nothing left of me?

[Chorus]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like i'm made of glass
Like i'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

[Demi Lovato]
As the smoke clears
I awaken, and untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet

[Chorus]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

[Bridge]
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run, run, run
Yeah it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here

You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper, Oh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

7 - 1 = 6 Deadly Sins

Greed

To go back home. I miss it so much.

Whose life doesn't it play an important part of? Why do we go to school? To learnt? Pfft. It's just an excuse. We go to school so we can go to work, or go to uni then to work. Why do we go to work? To earn money. It's as easy as that. 

3. What are your goals for the future? 
Well, to pass my degree in University, then my masters, then get a job, one that I don't mind as well. But before that, go on my Mission to Serve my Heavenly Father first. Then get myself a beautiful wife and start myself a wonderful loving family. I always wanted to have my own children. :)

4. Do you think money is more important than love?
Are you serious? Nothing is more important than love. It's the fuel that's keeping this world together. 

5. If you were given one million dollars right now, what would you do with it? 
Well, being myself, save half a mill and use the other half to pay everything that my family needs to pay off first. Then use the other half to buy shares, I'm an accountant.

6. Has anyone ever called you spoiled or greedy? 
Well, not greedy, but honestly, I have heard people call me spoiled. And you know what. I hate it. I really do. Just because I spend MY money on this and that, doesn't mean I'm spoiled. I save my money and use it when I need to. Not when I want to.

I hope so. Haha.

Depends really. But I usually spend about $10~$20. This counts for transport costs and everything. Food etc.

Sloth

1. Have many people called you lazy? 
No ways! I'm diligent as! 

2. How much sleep do you get at night? 
Not much. About 8~9 hours if I'm lucky.

Well, when I'm bored and have nothing to do, sure. But when I wake up, time goes so slowly after that and my head hurts.

I don't think I had any depressing moments. I love my life. But the hardest time was probably exam time. When I couldn't help my friends in need or hang out with them.

5. What is the best way to relax? 
I believe in the power and influence of music. I love music.

6. Would you consider yourself more of a follower or leader? 
Well, I used to only accept leadership, but the more I learn, the more I realize the importance of following. There's a quote that I always keep in heart. "In order to Lead, you must First learn to follow"

7. Would you consider yourself a caring person? 
Yes, I hope so. I want my loving friends to know that I will always be there for them. 

8. What time do you go to bed at night? 
Again, at the moment probably around 12ish, 1ish. Occasionally as late as 2. 

9. What do you waste most of your time doing? 
Facebook, and lying around. Oh, and Txting. Haha.

Go out somewhere any day. I LOVE going here and there. But home is where the heart is as well. :)

8. What is your biggest pet peeve? 
When people call me rich or when people break promises, or when they don't make dealings or when people don't listen, or when people criticize my love of Apple, or when people double book, or when people move to other cities to go to university. Rory McDowell, Jonathan Martin.

9. How do you express your anger and frustration? 
I hit them. Ask Rory McDowell or Jonathan Martin. 

10. Is it easy for you to forgive? 
Depends what that person has done. But I try. Unless they commit unforgivable crimes like using the killing curse or leaving me to go to a different city to go to university. 

Envy

1. Who are you most jealous of? 
Haven't thought of it really 
So no one. 

2. What is something you want that your best friend has? 
I have a few best friends.. But nothing in particular. Wait. Does Maoriness count? If i was Maori like Jono I could get into university for free and not have to worry about $5000 a year. 

3. What is one thing you think you are lacking in life? 
A car. And drivers license. Hehe.

6. Unlucky? 
My two best friends are leaving me for another city to study in. I hate you Rory McDowell and Jonathan Martin. 

7. Have you ever felt sorry for yourself? 
I don't need to. Feeling sorry for yourself is insulting and disrespecting the people who love you. So don't do it.

Nope. There is so much more for me to work to get. 

9. Is there anyone that has been envious of you?

Never. 

10. What is your most embarrassing moment? 
Singing a Miley Cyrus song in front of 2500 boys. At my school. Haha. 

Hypocritism

Hypocritisim
What does this mean? It's being a hypocrite, but also an "ism." Yes, it's an hybrid.

Do you know what I love about Facebook? It's like TradeMe, but better. You can sell EVERYTHING  on it.

I love it how there are so many ways of saying "I'm going to the toilet." Want me to name you the ones that I know?
- I'm going to take a dump
- I'm going for a crap
- I'm going to drop the kids off at the swimming pool
- I'm going to order a Number 2 Combo
- Simply Number 2
- There's a big problem that I need to rake care of
Any more I forgot?

Haven't seen my friends for 3 months. You know what happens? You crave them. Yep. Crave. As in extreme want. Like, I crave KFC, but I crave my beautiful friends.

It was Valentines the other day, and guess what. No flowers. No letters. NO CHOCOLATES! But I did get virtual flowers. Thanks to yror. Yep, he's Russian :)

So I was wondering. I wonder how hard it would be for 2degrees to take over New Zealand teenagers. I have a marketing plan for them. Chose the most popular boys and girls and make then influence their friends to change to 2degrees. Easy. It's so much better! Urgh!

Song of the day:

Ave Maria - Beyoncé
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK4OIWh5SiM


Lyrics
She was lost in so many different ways
Out in the darkness with no guide
I know the cost of a losing hand
Never thought the grace of God go high

I found heaven on earth
You were my last, my first
And then I hear this voice inside
Ave Maria

I've been alone when I'm surrounded by friends
How could the silence be so loud?
But I still go home knowing that I've got you
There's only us when the lights go down

You are my heaven on earth
You are my hunger, my thirst
I always hear this voice inside
Singing Ave Maria

Sometimes love can come and pass you by
While your busy making plans
Suddenly hit you and then you realize
It's out of your hands, baby you got to understand

You are my heaven on earth
You are my last, my first
And then I hear this voice inside
Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria

Cups with a Hic

You know what I find amusing? The different ways of how people cure the deadly virus of........
Hiccups. Yes hiccups. Also not at all commonly known as Synchronous Diaphragmatic Flutter, it's basically your diaphragm hating on your vocal chords and making them close making a "hic" noise.
Some remedies include: giving the afflicted a fright or shock; sticking a finger in the mouth (not in a way that will induce vomiting); massaging the back of the throat (which will stop the irritation in the epiglottis); taking a teaspoon of vinegar; drinking water in an unorthodox manner (leaning over and drinking from the opposite side); drinking a full glass through a paper towel, holding one's breath and altering one's breathing patterns or holding one's breath and drinking water (large amounts at a time) until hiccup stops. I even saw someone pulling their ears up to make them go away. The funny thing is, it actually worked. Personally I recommend the holding your breath remedy. Am I missing any?

American Charles Osborne had the hiccups for 68 years, from 1922 to 1990, and was entered in the Guinness World Records as the man with the longest attack of hiccups.
That sucks. But what sucks more? Having hiccups for three years, then going to the doctors to get a cure for hiccups to find that you had a tumour in the part of your brain that triggers hiccups. Yep. Heaps sucks

Hiccups also remind me of the movie "How To Train Your Dragon." It's a great watch, and I recommend it very much. I loved it so much, I bought my mum the DVD for Christmas. :) Along with other things of course. Why does it remind me of the movie? Because the main character's name is Hiccup! I loved it, and so shall you.

LOL - Lots Of Love

Umbrella - All Time Low

Songwriters: Barakat, Jack Bassam; Dawson, Robert Ryan; Gaskarth, Alexander; Merrick, Zachary Steven; Squire, Matt

Lyrics:
You had my heart
And we'll never be world apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because...

When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Told you we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

These fancy things,
Will never come in between
You are my entity
Here for infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard

Together we'll mend your heart
Because...

When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end

Now that it's raining more than ever
Told you we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
(Come into me)
(There's no distance in between our love)
Gonna let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because...

When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Told you we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

It's raining (raining)
O baby it's raining
Baby come into me
Come into me
It's raining (raining)
O baby it's raining
O baby come into me
Come into me
